After Action Report
The Bulls squeaked past the Cavaliers 90-85. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
